Why ELIFECYCLE error occurs while running npm start? - reactjs

Question

I had created a new react project and while running it using npm start it shows me ELIFECYCLE error.
I had tried deleting the package.lock.json and node_modules and removed the dependencies and done a fresh npm install. Eventhough the same error occurs again.
This is my package.json file:
{
"name": "tables",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"react": "^16.9.0",
"react-dom": "^16.9.0",
"react-scripts": "3.1.1"
},
"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts start",
"build": "react-scripts build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
},
"eslintConfig": {
"extends": "react-app"
},
"browserslist": {
"production": [
">0.2%",
"not dead",
"not op_mini all"
],
"development": [
"last 1 chrome version",
"last 1 firefox version",
"last 1 safari version"
]
}
}
C:\Users\Srinithi K\tables
this is my path where the react project called tables is present.
output after running npm start:

This might be due to package-lock.json file. If you had not run eject, it might not have occurred. Installing the latest version of npm would help.
Try these fixes:
Go to your application directory in the command prompt,
rm -rf node-modules
npm install npm#latest -g
npm install
You might consider the following command if the above fix doesn't work.
npm install react-scripts
